GOLD Captures Its First Image of the Earth

[caption id="attachment_2780" align="alignright" width="239"]

Shown here is the “first light” image of ultraviolet atomic oxygen emission (135.6 nm wavelength) from the Earth’s upper atmosphere captured by NASA’s GOLD instrument. It was taken at approximately 6 a.m. local time, near sunrise in eastern South America. The colors correspond to...

GOLD Mission to Image Earth’s Interface to Space

On Jan. 25, 2018, NASA launches Global-scale Observations of the Limb and Disk, or GOLD, a hosted payload aboard SES-14, a commercial communications satellite. GOLD will investigate the dynamic intermingling of space and Earth’s uppermost atmosphere — and is the first NASA science mission to fly an instrument as a commercially hosted payload. Space is not...

ICON & GOLD Teaming Up To Explore Earth’s Interface to Space

[caption id="attachment_2549" align="alignright" width="300"]

Bright swaths of red and green, known as airglow, are visible in this visualization of Earth's limb with the SES-14 satellite and GOLD rising above it. Airglow occurs when gases in the upper atmosphere become charged by the Sun's radiation, emitting light. By measuring...
